In August 2019, we became the first life insurer in Malaysia to leverage WhatsApp for e-policy delivery and instant communication with our customers.
WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption messaging system ensures that all customer communication is protected and that the customers receive their e-policy in a secure and fast manner. To further protect our customers’ personal data, the PDF file is password-protected. Our automated Chatbot, GINA (Gibraltar INtelligent Assistant), also provides customers with instant information 24-7 such as e-forms, branch locations, panel hospitals, etc.
